I stayed at Jing's place during my 4 days' stay in Bangkok and what an excellent decision it turned out to be!

Jing is simply the nicest of the hosts; she was there to welcome us when we reached home and gave us helpful hints about the neighbourhood. She had a cute little hand-drawn diagram of the neighbourhood that was of much use to us. At the time of check-out she was understanding enough to let us stay for a few hours more, since our flight was late in the night. The nicest of the gestures was the food basket she left for us :)

Reaching Jing's place was a breeze thanks to the Thai instructions she mailed me prior to my arrival. Her place, Villa Rachakhru, is right in the middle of Bangkok city with excellent connectivity. BTS Aree (Skytrain) is just 5 min walk away. Grocery options are aplenty with Tesco Lotus, 7/11 and Villa Supermarket, all within a 10 min walk.

Apartment was extremely comfortable and well furnished, and was as good as the pictures suggested. All the amenities were included to make ourselves feel at home; well stocked kitchen with an induction stove for cooking, fridge, washing machine, toaster etc., though I missed cable TV and hot water :(

The roof-top pool is extremely beautiful. A dip after a long day in the Bangkok heat, is simply fantastic. The gym is great too, albeit without any weights.
